I enjoyed the intense program descriptors . I was able to graduate with 2 master degrees from Grand Canyon and loved the experience from the school! The school focus on target focus elements from in classes activities to hands on experience. I've been in my field for over 10 years and enjoy every moments!

Overall it's a great college experience, the university gives helping every step of the way when applying to the university.. My degree program is in Special Education online program. each class is about 22 student it feels like a actual classroom setting. we able to talk and ask questions about anything we might need help with. overall the program great so far. My main fear was having to much work all at once. But the classwork layout is very manageable during the course of the week. and each class is 6 week long.

Grand Canyon University is a awesome college with instructors and students that want to help you succeed. I have earned my bachelors degree, my associate's degree and now working on my doctorates degree.

I appreciate the guidance the advisors give to ensure you are successful in your program. The GCU staff is always available to assist and are extremely responsive to their students. The online classroom and student portal are easy to navigate and all your information is at your fingertips. The best feature about GCU is the school is faith-based and they incorporate devotionals in their curriculum.

I'm attending Grand Canyon University online master program. In Special Education k-12. When I first started looking into schools for my master degree. There were many option and course layouts .but overall what made me chose Grand Canyon University is the way they made my experience. They were very helpful right out of the gate. I told them what I wanted to get my degree in and they made the whole process easy. Overall the school and counselor are very helpful. There making my learning opportunity a great experience. And it encourages me to keep working hard. This is a very huge step for me getting into a master program. I was imitated at first but my counselor is also positive and helps me believe in myself. So overall great university. My degree is in special education K-12. The program that I chose in all online. I have one class every 6 weeks. Which is great so I don't have to worry about taking multiple class at once. I get all my school material from books and other sources online. Its help for me because Im already working as a full time teacher. So it makes it easier to focus on passing one class at a time. So I got 14 online class. And a 15 week student teaching at the school that Im currently working at. So the overall experience for me is great. The University made the applying process easy and always helped me with question no matter how small or big. I plan on getting my Ph.D. for this university.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Masters program at Grand Canyon University. What I enjoyed most was that I was able to continue working full-time and enjoyed the flexibility of the online environment. The platform was easy to use and there was continued online technical support that was very helpful when I needed it. Teachers communicated regularly with me and responded promptly to emails. I also enjoyed that you could start throughout the year. I was ready to start my program in October and was fearful that I would have to wait until the semester started in January, however, they have programs that start year round and I was lucky to be able to start with a group in October. They also design their online classes into cohorts, so you are with the same students throughout your program. This was extremely nice and allowed for great collaboration and help.

In the last 3 years, I have asked around different online schools regarding a Masters degree in Nursing but only felt the genuine support from a GCU counselor who, with her commitment, convinced me to enroll in GCU. In the process I realized that I made the right decision because GCU emphasizes on preparing its students by providing academically challenging and values-based curriculum with its values defined by its Christian heritage. This is reflected by their College of Nursing and Health Care Professions as it develops professionals reflecting Christian values. GCU continuously strive for improvement of its educational environment and curriculum evidenced by its constant academic innovation and school expansion to cater to its increasing population. The GCU College of Nursing has specifically addressed the evolving education needs by providing a platform for hands-on practice, online and lab simulations and in-depth peer discussions exploring best practices. Most importantly, they have a group of dedicated enrollment and educational counselors who are committed to assist the student every step of the way. They make a huge difference as they make the process less intimidating and bearable. I will definitely endorse GCU to my friends and people I know and already plan to pursue DNP at GCU later on.

As a student at Grand Canyon University, I was highly impressed with the degree of professionalism and thorough knowledge I received. I went to the school at age 52 after finding out that the bible college I had attended had no recognized accreditation. I thought I was too old to go back to school and too busy as a pastor to even pass the classes but to my surprise I earned my BS in Psychology and my Master's in Professional Counseling. The staff and the faculty was more than helpful. Best of all, I received excellent tutoring to help me through the long forgotten information from my statistics class in high school! Now I am retiring as pastor of my church but was just hired as the crisis counselor at The Salvation Army here in Phoenix, Arizona. I am grateful that both my education and and experience prepared and qualified me for a rewarding career as a counselor helping more people than I was as a Pastor with better pay. Now I have the potential to move up in the company, work with another company or school or have my own practice in this field that I love. After being so disappointed to find out that my degree from my bible college was virtually worthless I was skeptical about attending attending another Christian college but I checked out Grand Canyon University and found it to be sound and fully accreditation! As a pastor of an independent church, I didn't earn a retirement or pension fund so I needed to continue to earn an income for my wife and I. I wasn't too old and it wasn't too late! I still have a future and I plan to help every person who walk into my office and share with them everything I have learned in hopes that it will be a blessing to them and their life! Thank you Grand Canyon University.

I attended online classes only, I thought it was going to be difficult because I was used to attending on campus but it was actually a very interesting experience! Taking online courses was like sitting in the classroom, except on my time. I really enjoyed sitting at my laptop on my own time, with my cup of coffee, at my own pace and still be able to watch my children. I would recommend Grand Canyon University or any online school to individuals with a family.

The Masters of Business Administration program at Grand Canyon University is awesome. The instructors really break down business practices that are and can be commonly used in your place of employment. The group discussion gives you an insight of how others view certain topics.
